Re: Best Coachella Hip Hop Headliner: Kanye vs. Jay-Z

Maybe I am just getting old but the whole Rhymesayers/Minneapolis/Nerd Rap/Anticon era is done for me. I know Atmosphere is still relevant but when I think of Slug, Sage Francis, Eyedea, etc., I think of the aggro ex-Wu-Tang backpacker that hates any rapper that goes out and tries to pay their bills.

Dre and friends was an amazing spectacle that I'll never forget, I just wish there were a few deep individual cuts from Dre and Snoop in there. I would argue, "Til I Collapse," and "Hail Mary" were the deepest cuts in the set, and two personal highlights. "Lodi Dodi," "Keep Their Heads Ringin'," "Murder was the Case," "Let Me Ride," or "The Shiznit" all would've been great.

While I (sort of) feel you on this, I think the lack of deep cuts kept the crowd energy ridiculously high during the whole set, in a way that OutKast failed to do (my favorite rap group ever, by the way, so this isn't a knock on them). Just hit after hit after hit. They knew what they were doing.
